The Alaska Meal Delivery Services Policy Manual provides a comprehensive framework for the planning, preparation, and delivery of nutritious meals to individuals with disabilities, aging adults, and others in need of dietary assistance across the state of Alaska. This manual aligns with regulatory requirements set by the Alaska Department of Health and Social Services (DHSS), the Division of Senior and Disabilities Services (SDS), and other relevant state agencies. It also incorporates applicable federal guidelines under the Older Americans Act (OAA), the Dietary Guidelines for Americans, and Medicaid Home and Community-Based Services (HCBS) Waiver programs. The manual outlines policies and procedures related to service eligibility, meal preparation, nutritional standards, meal delivery logistics, food safety and sanitation, dietary accommodations (e.g., for diabetes, heart disease, etc.), client rights, documentation and reporting requirements, emergency preparedness, and quality assurance practices. Meal delivery services are designed to address food insecurity, promote health, and support individuals in maintaining independence by ensuring access to nutritionally balanced, culturally appropriate meals delivered to their homes. As both an operational and compliance guide, the Alaska Meal Delivery Services Policy Manual ensures that providers meet all state and federal requirements while delivering safe, nutritious, and high-quality meals that enhance the health and well-being of individuals receiving meal services in home and community-based settings.
